The Old Stories by Kevin Crossley-Holland
Delve in if you dare . . . This book is bursting with boggarts and sprinkled with spiteful marsh sprites; it groans with gruesome ghosts and is awash with wildmen. Full of fools, fiends, friendships and feuding families - there's something in here for every reader!
"Sometimes humourous, often making us feel we have brushed against something dark, threatening and inscrutable in the marshes, this is an irresistible collection from a master storytellerJohn Lawrence's distinctive wood cut panels and vignettes are the perfect accompaniment". -- Linda Newbery * TES, 10 Dec 04 *
